About me

View profile

I'm an Irish actor based between Dublin, London and the West Midlands. I trained at the Gaiety School of Acting and later at Bow Street Academy for Screen Acting.

I tend to be cast in grounded, working-class roles and enjoy playing characters with grit, humour and a bit of edge. While I've often played tougher characters, I have a strong love of comedy and would like to do more of it.

Outside of acting I keep fit through boxing and Thai boxing, ride horses and have worked as a plumber, so I'm comfortable in physically demanding and practical roles.

I'm at home working across Irish, British and American accents and enjoy telling honest stories with believable characters at the centre.
